Vinification
The grapes are left in contact with their skins for 12 hours at a low temperature (10–12 °C). They are then whole-pressed using a pneumatic press. The must is allowed to clarify naturally and fermented at a controlled temperature of 18 °C. Through constant and careful monitoring, it is assessed whether additional rackings or other cellar operations are needed. The wine is then filtered and prepared for refermentation.
Aging
Selected yeasts and a measured amount of sugar are added to the base wine, which is then bottled and sealed with a bidule and crown cap. It matures on the lees in the cellar for a minimum of 60 months. At the chosen time, the bottles are placed on pupitres to achieve the required riddling, allowing the complete removal of sediments formed during refermentation. After disgorgement, the bottle is corked and left to rest for several months before being released for sale.
